Chapter 21: Poisoning
The first rays of sunlight jumped out of the horizon, shrouding the entire Xiao Mansion in the golden morning light, penetrating into the thin bamboo paper window, and the window pattern was blurred under the light spots.
The stone vine carried the tail of the little hooked snake and put aside the little hooked snake that was entangled with his hair at some point.
"Is it dawn?" The sleepy little hooked snake poked its head out of the bed and asked slowly.
"Hmm." Shi Vine skillfully put on the top dress. Her ability to never forget has enabled her to quickly learn the things she has seen, including the dress that Yunbi only wears for her once.
"Miss Shi, are you awake? May I come in? Hearing movement in the inner room, Yun Bi, who was keeping vigil in the outer room, called softly.
"Come in." Shi Manman was already fully dressed, but he didn't restore the bun that Yunbi combed yesterday. She still finds it more comfortable to simply tie her hair up.
Yun Bi, who woke up early in the morning to prepare, entered the house with a basin of hot water, and was slightly surprised to see that Shi Manman had already dressed. Yesterday, the other party seemed to be at a loss for how to put on this dress, but now he can put on the clothes with a knot.
I thought that what Shi Manman did for the first time was to give her a horse, but when I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Yunbi is not Yunxi after all, and her joy and anger are all shown on her face. After serving Shi Manman with a respectful face, he said, "I'll prepare breakfast, girl, please wait." ”
Shi Manman only nodded faintly when he heard this, but the hooked snake that was still in the bed became energetic when he heard it. After Yunbi left, he hurriedly slipped off the bed and swam to the table to wait for the "big meal".
Shi Manman dragged his chin and sat on the table waiting for Yun Bi to come back, while the little hooked snake erected his upper body and looked forward to it.
"Auntie...... Girl", a maid hurriedly wanted to come in, looked up and saw the strange upright table of the little hooked snake, and the foot of the purchase threshold immediately retreated, standing outside the door and looking anxiously at the stone vines.
Shi Manman recognized the maid as a maid from a shallow house. She looked at the maid who was about to speak and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The eldest lady was bitten by a snake." The maid said and looked at the little hooked snake intentionally or unintentionally, and the scarlet letter could be seen in and out of the afterglow, and the frightened other party did not dare to look at the little hooked snake again.
"Bitten by a snake? Shouldn't you go to ...... Big...... Doctor? "Stone Manman struggled to think of what to call a healer for humanity.
"Sister Yunbi asked me to call the girl to take a look, but the master didn't want the ancestor to be careful, so he asked Sister Yunbi to look at Aunt Sun who was also in the kitchen. She said that the girl grew up in the mountains, and now there is a snake next to her, I don't know if there is a way to poison the snake...... "Aunt Sun in the maid's mouth is an old man who has served beside Grandmother Xiao for many years, and now Xiao Jin is bitten by poison and lives unknown, Xiao Yuan does not want Grandmother Xiao to worry in vain." The maid repeated what Yunbi had told her. Shi Manman pondered for a while and looked at the little hooked snake, but the little hooked snake didn't give face and looked arrogant. It wouldn't tell the stone vine that it didn't know anything about snake venom.
Shi Manman remembered Xiao Jin's kind attitude towards herself last night, and came to the world, except for Xiao Lei who thought she was the second person to radiate kindness to herself, although she also knew nothing about snake venom.
"You lead the way." Shi Manman, who knew the Xiao family, was only familiar with the routes of the places she had visited, and while letting the maid lead the way, the layout of the Xiao family also formed a simple map in her mind.
"If something happens, miss, don't let any of you try to excuse it!" Xiao Yuan's roar shrouded in the Yusheng courtyard.
"Where's the doctor! Why hasn't the doctor come yet! Liu Yemei changed from her previous dignified and elegant, and scolded Yunxi behind her loudly.
Yunxi was punished for kneeling for one night because of yesterday's unruliness, and her knees were red and swollen and painful. couldn't run at all, and it was Xiao Jin's personal maid Huan who grew up with Xiao Jin to call the doctor.
"Madam, Huan Jian has gone to find a doctor, and will be back soon." The title of Mrs. is only used by the Xiao family when Grandmother Xiao is not there.
"Doctor...... The doctor is here! Huan Jian was out of breath and dragged the doctor all the way into the courtyard, and the doctor crooked his hair in the run, messing up his clothes, so he was not embarrassed. If it was someone else, he would have left long ago. But at this time, it was the Xiao family who had an accident, and he had to lose his temper. The Xiao family is the largest wealthy businessman in Shicheng, although they do not have the power of the official family, but their financial resources should not be underestimated, and the Xiao family's desire to bring down his family's pharmacy in Shicheng is just a matter of moving their fingers.
Liu Yemei stopped talking when she saw the doctor coming, and sat beside Xiao Jin anxiously with an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on Xiao Jin's forehead, Xiao Jin's already bloodless face now looks almost no different from a dummy.
The doctor invited was the one with the highest medical skills in Shicheng who had studied snake venom, and the doctor stepped forward to look at Xiao Jin's injuries, and immediately ordered someone to fetch a copper basin and clear water. He made a small opening on the wound on the back of Xiao Jin's hand, although it was too late to bleed at the moment, but fortunately, the wound was not deep, and it was good to put some toxins out.
As soon as Shi Manman entered the house, he saw people who were almost in a mess, the maids were coming in and out, and Xiao Yuan watched the doctor's every move with a solemn face. The blood flowing from the back of her hand was dark black, which showed that the poison of the snake was extraordinary, and the black blood dripped down the back of her white jade hand into the clear water in the copper basin under her hand, spreading a circle of black and red ripples.
Shi Manman was seeing two red holes under the wound on the back of his hand, which should be the wounds left by the snake bite. When he saw the wound, Shi Manman's eyebrows frowned, as if he had thought of something but was interrupted.
"How did you end up here?" Everyone's attention was almost on the doctor, but Yunxi, whose knees were swollen and painful, was wandering, and just happened to see the stone vines led in by the maid.
Everyone watched the doctor's movements silently, and when they heard the voice of Yunxi, several people looked back at Shi Manman.
"Miss Shi is here to visit Jin'er?" After Liu Yemei saw that Xiao Jin's rapid breathing had become calm, the big stone in her heart only fell halfway. Without the previous flustered and unerring appearance, the tone was not hurried or slow, and he couldn't hear at all that his only daughter was still in bed at this time.
Shi Manman saw Liu Yemei asking, so he looked at the maid who led her. The maid repeated Yunbi's words again.
Liu Yemei immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this, how could she forget that Xiao Lei said that Shi Manvine grew up in the mountains. What's the most in the mountains? Snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, animals. Now that you can live in the mountains to your current age, you must be more or less familiar with these poisonous snakes.
She stepped forward and wanted Shi Manman to help Xiao Jin take a look, but Xiao Yuan stopped her. If he heard it right, Yun Bi's words also seemed to mention that there was a snake in the stone vines.
Xiao Yuan glanced at the stone vines, not knowing where she put the snake, even if he didn't want to admit it, he still pulled Liu Ye's eyebrows and secretly took a small step back. The more he rejected Shi Manman in his heart, and he didn't want such a woman to marry into the Xiao family.
The lovely woman's heartfelt willow eyebrows didn't think too much, looked at Shi Manman and said, "I don't know if Miss Shi has a way to save Jin'er?" ”
Shi Manman was about to speak, when a cold female voice suddenly interjected: "Hmph, save people." It's good not to kill. ”
